Hundreds of community members gathered to witness a historic moment as the South Atlantic Conference officially repurposed its former Conference office building into an innovative urban lifestyle and wellness hub. The newly reimagined facility, now known as Life Space Hope and Wellness Center, represents a bold commitment to holistic health, community empowerment, and accessible care in the heart of Atlanta, Ga.
Strategically located across the street from the Conference’s largest church, Atlanta Berean, Life Space sits at the center of a thriving campus that also includes a daycare, elementary school, and high school. This unique positioning creates a powerful ecosystem for serving families across generations, from young children to older adults, all within one connected community space.
South Atlantic Conference, led by its Community Services Department, celebrated the ribbon-cutting for Life Space Marketplace on Sunday, February 22, 2026, marking the second phase of its four-phase development plan. The Marketplace concept transforms the building into a vibrant, service-oriented hub open every fourth Sunday, where vendors, health professionals, and community partners offer a wide range of wellness services under one roof.
Life Space Marketplace already provides outpatient medical care through Southside Medical, along with counseling services, nutrition and wellness coaching, massage therapy, chiropractic care, financial consulting, free legal aid, and immigration services. Guests can also access natural herbs, plant-based body care products, IV hydration therapy, and natural hair care services. The center offers older adult technology classes, a children’s zone, fitness coaching and group exercise sessions, and hands-on support through a thrift store and repair café. A juice bar and plant-based café round out the experience, promoting healthy lifestyle choices in a welcoming, community-centered environment.
Under the leadership of Joshua Nelson, D.Min., who serves as the community services director, the vision for Life Space extends far beyond its current operations. The South Atlantic Conference is actively raising funds to fully renovate the building and transition from monthly Marketplace events to a comprehensive, daily wellness center serving the broader Atlanta community. When complete, Life Space will function as a true one-stop destination for holistic health — addressing physical, mental, spiritual, and economic well-being.
Life Space Hope and Wellness Center is more than a building; it is a movement toward health equity, empowerment, and hope.
